WOW. after all these years lisa Stansfield come back with one great cd. thanks to trevor horn, the vocals are some of the best lisa has done. i am a big stansfield fan, and i really like the newer pop sound, got tired of the R&B thing she was doing before, it all started to sound the same.....with trevor, he helps breath new life into lisa and her work...some of the best songs, easier, when love breaks down, lay your hands on me, the moment, only wish there were more uptempo songs, but all and all.....what a wonderful cd. some people said it took them sometime to get use to the new sound.....i say, bring on more. if your a fan, and love lisa's voice,...then youll love this cd, i cant wait till the next one. thanks lisa. keep up the good work.
 Stansfield with a new sound of Horn November 10, 2006
THE MOMENT is a new testament of Lisa Stansfield's return in her significant Rochdale's deep crooning vocal styling with the sound of UK-based pop songwriter-producer genius Trevor Horn.
This collaboration brings us yet a few more remarkable hits i.e. TREAT ME LIKE A WOMAN and the consequent WHEN LOVE BREAKS DOWN with Horn's powerful trademark chorus in Stansfield's veteran soulful and seductive package, HE TOUCHES ME/TAKES A WOMAN TO KNOW with Stansfield's further polished and sophisticated all-woman demeanour of a female vocalist, and IF I HADN'T GOT YOU with every positive drug chemistry that will make any geek crave to dive in the dance floor!
Often regarded as the pride and essence of UK pop music, Stansfield proved once again her reign is still way too far from over.

Sound, Music good as previous LP. But not the best as 1st or 2nd albums. If you're the real fan, don't worry go get it.

The Moment is different from Lisa's other CD's, but not at all in a bad way. This is a wonderful CD, which grows on you after the first listen through. In my opinion all of the songs on here a worth listening to more than once. I love this Cd not only because I'm a huge Lisa fan, but because "The Moment" is really, really a great CD that I never get tired of hearing. I cannot wait for Ms. Stansfield's next Cd, which I've heard is in the works, but this time with her husband Ian.

WHY didn't this amazing album by Lisa get a US domestic CD release from Arista, the same American label that recently issued her greatest hits CD? Rather than re-hash, remix, and re-hash OLD material, why not "treat her like a woman" as Lisa croons and allow her to release some fine NEW material in the States?! Simple fact: She can't get played on US radio or MTV or VH1...too bad for us...as this is a great collection of songs, sung marvelously by our Lisa, especially solid songwriting from cohorts like RICHARD DARBYSHIRE (who also has a great voice American audiences have overlooked), including the should-have-been-smash IF I HADN'T GOT YOU - if you released this track with some remixes for the clubs or just the LP mix, this deserves to be a hit - one of the BEST songs Lisa has ever done - gives me goosebumps, what vocal phrasing! Lisa looks classic and sexy and very sophisticated on the sleeve, too. Hats off to TREVOR HORN and ZZT for giving Lisa another shot! Sure it's not early 90s club music, it's Lisa updated for...er...um...2004.
